Water purifier

Abstract

A water purifier includes a water purifier body, a filter bracket provided inside the water purifier body, a pump unit provided inside the water purifier body and including a pump connected to a main water purifying filter installed in the filter bracket, and a vibration transmission-preventing unit which, while the main water purifying filter is installed in the filter bracket, ensures the transmission, to the filter bracket and the water purifier body, of vibrations due to the pressure difference between the pump and the main water purifying filter when water is supplied to the main water purifying filter by means of the pump is reduced by a filter vibration-damping member.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A water purifier, comprising:
 a water purifier body; 
 a filter bracket provided inside the water purifier body; 
 a pump unit provided inside the water purifier body and comprising a pump connected to a main water purifying filter installed in the filter bracket; and 
 a vibration transmission-preventing unit which, when the main water purifying filter is installed in the filter bracket, ensures that the transmission, to the filter bracket and the water purifier body, of vibrations due to the pressure difference between the pump and the main water purifying filter when water is supplied to the main water purifying filter by means of the pump, is reduced by a filter vibration-damping member, wherein 
 the vibration transmission-preventing unit comprises the filter vibration-damping member provided in the filter bracket, a clip member connected to the filter bracket through the filter vibration-damping member and in which a portion of a circumference of the main water purifying filter is inserted and installed, and an elastic band member connected to the clip member to elastically surround a remaining portion of the circumference of the main water purifying filter, 
 the filter vibration-damping member and the elastic band member are formed of rubber, 
 the pump unit further comprises a first pump vibration-damping portion comprising a pump supporting board configured to support the pump and a first pump vibration-damping member provided on the pump supporting board, and a second pump vibration-damping portion comprising a support member configured to support the first pump vibration-damping portion, a second pump vibration-damping member provided in the support member and a cover member connected to the support member so as to cover the pump and the first pump vibration-damping portion, and 
 the first pump vibration-damping member and the second pump vibration-damping, member are formed of rubber. 
 
     
     
       2. The water purifier of  claim 1 , wherein the clip member is provided with an arc-shaped filter installation portion in which the portion of the circumference of the main water purifying filter is inserted and installed. 
     
     
       3. The water purifier of  claim 2 , wherein the elastic band member has an arc shape corresponding to the filter installation portion. 
     
     
       4. The water purifier of  claim 1 , wherein
 the clip member is formed with a band connection groove, and 
 a band connection protrusion inserted into and connected to the band connection groove is formed in the elastic band member. 
 
     
     
       5. The water purifier of  claim 4 , wherein
 the clip member is formed with a supplemental connection protrusion, and 
 a supplemental connection hole into which the supplemental connection protrusion is inserted and connected is formed in the elastic band member. 
 
     
     
       6. The water purifier of  claim 1 , wherein
 the filter bracket is formed with a vibration-damping member-supporting portion having an insertion support hole in which one end of the filter vibration-damping member is inserted, and 
 the clip member is formed with a connection insertion hole into which the other end of the filter vibration-damping member is inserted. 
 
     
     
       7. The water purifier of  claim 6 , wherein
 the vibration-damping member-supporting portion is further formed with a through-connection protrusion to be provided in the insertion support hole, and 
 the filter vibration-damping member is formed with a through-hole through which the through-connection protrusion passes. 
 
     
     
       8. The water purifier of  claim 7 , wherein
 the through-connection protrusion is formed with a coupling hole, and 
 a coupling member is coupled to the coupling hole such that the clip member is connected to the filter bracket. 
 
     
     
       9. The water purifier of  claim 1 , wherein
 the pump and the main water purifying filter are connected by a plurality of connection members having a bent shape, such that the transmission of vibrations to the main water purifying filter due to the pressure difference between the pump and the main water purifying filter is reduced, and 
 the water purifier comprises at least one of
 a first connection member having one side provided with a first nipple, and one of a second nipple and a first connection pipe is inserted and connected to the other side of the first connection member, and 
 a second connection member having one side and another side, wherein one of a third nipple and a second connection pipe is inserted in the one side or the other side of the second connection member. 
 
 
     
     
       10. The water purifier of  claim 1 , wherein the main water purifying filter is a reverse osmosis filter.
